Day 1 ~ May 8, 2010 We got in VERY late Friday night due to delays in Chicago, so we decided to keep the Saturday plans low key. Dad took us on a driving tour of Mount Pleasant, we had lunch at the Atlanta Bread, Co. and went to see a Sweetgrass basket maker. They are all along the Highway leading from Charleston to Mount Pleasant. Papa, Nana, and Lucas got me a basket for Mother's Day. It is truly a treasure!
Sweetgrass baskets are made by the Gullah people fromWest Africa. It was a trade brought over during the times of
slavery. They are hand sewn (not woven) with palms.
